The other day there was a post about
driving lights being relocated by persons unknown.
We all know you can't stop this but you can slow them down if it is an opportunistic theft.
Here is how I slow them down. The bell is made of a piece of stainless tube with piece end cut from a bit of flat s/s using a holesaw. I then welded the flat to the tube and cleaned up the weld, after that the 6mm hole was increase to 9mm to take the driving light bolts. Cost me nothing as I had the s/s laying around. Exhaust tube and mild steel would be fine.
I use 2 nuts, one hex nut and then an anti theft locknut. This stops them being able to get a pair of multi grips onto the anti theft nut.
Have used these for a few years one my HID
driving lights.
